I've got a modified mk4 gearknob in mine, the textured finish matches the Lupo steering wheel perfectly.

Ruby failed her MOT which upset me a little, but I didn't scrap her, I just sorted the problems.

First off she failed on nearside and offside rear brake pipes being corroded, so was on the phone to VRDan to help out and we took her to his place of work and got her in the air. Replaced corroded parts with brand new pipe and bled the brakes.

Next up on the failure sheet was the steering rack gaiter on the offside was perished, so swiftly bought the new part and replaced that, even did that myself as it wasn't a hard job.

Had a couple advisories of chip in windscreen which I knew about (I stare straight f**king at it seeing as it's right in my viewing angle!), and also front to rear brake pipe lines were showing signs of corrosion, but covered these with Hammerite to reduce them from getting worse.

After a productive morning I thought I'd treat the old girl to a clean so washed her, polished and trim gelled everything and got her to model for me, pics below, all ready for the retest on Thursday.

Nice new pics! The gear knob looks cool, I have the mock off mk4 item in mine. Sooo much better than the original version! Shame about the MOT, at least it wasn't anything major! :)

Thanks for the comments guys. MOT is on Thursday but at least I know it's all good again.

The gear knob is in such good condition so I won't retrim it yet, guess I'll have to one day though. Brad, you got an Anni one too?
